Sara is accepted at an all-girls magical boarding school called The Rose where she meets a mysterious girl named Silje. The two of them quickly form a friendship that begins to blossom into something more. However, Sara comes to find that the school has its own dark secrets and harsh punishments for those who break its rules …
Eros/Psyche by Maria Llovet is deliciously gothic and atmospheric sapphic dark academia mystery that left me with so many conflicting emotions.
On one hand, it’s gorgeous to look at. There are so many cinematic, wordless panels that this comic begins to feel more like an arthouse film or an aesthetic mood piece than a substantive story.
Along those same lines, I feel like there wasn’t sufficient build up for the shocking reveal towards the end, and after finishing its final pages, I still wish I had more answers.
Overall, this is a beautiful disaster of a story that’s filled with queer yearning and angst and fierce sisterly bonds, and even despite its flaws, I loved it still.
Thank you, NetGalley and Ablaze, for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
